Interviews

In the summer of 2012 a Kickstarter project, the Nifty MiniDrive, was launched that sought to expand the storage on portable Mac computers. This is something that is normally difficult to do without voiding your Mac's warranty. The team intially aimed at raising $11,000 but they exceeded this goal by a huge margin.
One year on I caught up with the, CEO Piers Ridyard, to ask about how he dealt with the intial success and how his team was able to cope with the development phase and to find out how this particular Kickstarter project became one of the most talked about third-party Apple accessories!

Myke Hurley is a British podcaster and the co-founder of 70Decibels, the network that brought us such shows as Bionic, CMD+Space, Generational and The 512 Podcast. More recently, Myke and his network have become part of the 5by5 network on which he, along with international cohorts Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels and Federico Viticci of MacStories, have since launched the hottest new tech podcast called The Prompt.
Although Myke works full time as a "corporate stooge" and hosts countless podcasts, including the daily podcast The News, I was fortunate enough to steal some of Myke's time and discuss his Mac and podcasting history, as well as what the future may hold for the medium.
